Lara Leatherstone – not her real name, she got it from an internet Porn Star Name Generator…

…And Connor Reeves, also not his real name, as it turns out – how he came by his, is less clear…

Both are obliged to work their way through the To Do List of ‘Hollywood Hit-Men’ – a breed mostly preoccupied with gold chains, impressing barmaids, and shady contracts – erasing these unwanted pests with the minimum of paperwork. Or pay.

When she’s not under surveillance by Head Office, Lara spends her time juggling a night job in bar security, an only child with a zombie fixation, and what passes for a social life in the small hours in between. And the minor matter of ongoing internal scrutiny, by her own highly-self-monitoring personality disorder.

HOW THIS EBOOK WORKS: This version of Death & The City has been adapted for you to literally ‘cut to the chase’ and skip past Lara’s longer internal thought-processes. You’ll see the hyperlinked word SKIP in the right margin, which will take you into the next action segment. If you want to return to the top of the segment you skipped, the word BACK will take you there. So depending on your reader preference – for the times when you just want to stay in the action, and for when you want to know what’s going on in that mind of Lara’s – you can either jump ahead, or read the whole thing continuously – it’s up to you.

Hope you all have a great summer! So far in 2013 I’ve been a cartoon character, a vampire slayer, a pirate… I’ve successfully collected new eye surgery (yay) and some heavy duty sports injuries (ouch), and I’m looking forward to being a zombie again and maybe even a Doctor Who character for events later in the year 🙂 Enjoy! xxxx
